Counter-protestors vastly outnumbered the Free Palestine demonstrators at Ole Miss in first such campus protest in Mississippi.
‘It wasn’t equal:’ Counter-protesters overwhelm pro-Palestinian students at the University of Mississippi by Molly Minta, Mississippi Today May 2, 2024 OXFORD — Police disbanded a pro-Palestinian student protest at the University of Mississippi less than an hour after it officially started when counter-protesters threw a water bottle and other items at the protest, prompting the protesters to respond in kind with water.
The counter-protesters cheered and started running after them, which some police and staff with the University of Mississippi First Amendment Support Team tried to prevent, leading one student to shout, “I’m not walking with them, I’m just walking this way!” “Nobody fucking cares, shut up!” a white female protester yelled as she swatted him with a plastic bag of takeout. “Assault!” The counter-protesters shouted. A police officer in a vest pulled her aside.
